Copy Demi Lovato's Glamorous Old Hollywood Makeup
Demi Lovato may have been at the VH1 Divas event, but her look was anything but high maintenance. The singer sported a flawless complexion, nude lips, and natural brows. The one element that really popped was her set of long false lashes and eye-emphasizing mascara. It's the perfect makeup to rock for a winter formal or night out with the girls, so follow along as makeup artist Jill Powell explains how she created the easy and elegant look. Remember, the eyes are the focal point of Demi's makeup, so be prepared to put most of your effort into this feature!

The key to contouring is follow the natural contours of your face and determine where you want to accentuate. I suggest you feel your cheekbone feel for the area just below where it naturally depresses. That is where you generally want to place your contour."

Then, I used MAC Naked Liner to line her lips. To finish off the look, I applied MAC Creme de Nude Lipstick and filled in her whole lip."
